Felt Flat Roofs In Harwich

Felt is still a practical choice for many Harwich flat roofs, but not the old single layer that was nailed down on post-war garages. Modern torch-on felt is built up in layers, each one heat-sealed to the last, and finished with a mineral cap sheet that protects it from sun and salt.

Options for your roof

We install and repair across all major options to suit your home and budget.

Local Knowledge

Felt roofs we replace around Harwich

Across the post-war streets beyond the Old Town, we often find original felt that has cracked along the laps, with moss in the seams and puddles that never quite dry. Rather than patch it again, we strip the roof, check the joists, lay a new deck and torch on a base layer followed by the cap sheet. Upstands are dressed up the wall and sealed under new flashing. Torch-on is a good fit when you want a dependable flat roof without moving to rubber or fibreglass.

Every job starts with a free survey and a written quote. Call 01206 648098 or book online.

Getting felt right by the sea

Strong gusts across the peninsula test every edge, so we bond the felt fully and finish the perimeter with proper trims instead of loose battens. Where a garage adjoins a neighbour, we talk through the party wall line before starting. A new felt roof counts as a new roof, so it carries our 10-year guarantee.
